The foragers are out gathering saffron milkcap and slippery jack, but leave these alone.

They're only edible with substantial processing, and are actually illegal to possess (in NSW at least, where I am), so not much point in collecting. Mildly toxic, containing muscimol, ibotenic acid and muscarine. They have psychoactive effects but make you quite ill!
